For Ms. Gong Xue, who is now 70 years old, a happy life is like a blooming flower, everywhere. Not long ago, a netizen posted a precious photo of Gong Xue gathering at a restaurant with relatives and friends on social media platforms.
In this photo, Gong Xue is wearing a simple and bright white shirt with a knitted hat of the same color, she has a lovely smile and affectionate eyes, like the spring sun shining on the earth, exuding a warm and warm atmosphere.
Although time flies, her delicate and small goose egg face, bright and moving eyes, high nose bridge and fair and delicate skin are still as sweet and charming as ever, as if time has not left any traces on her face.
Ms. Gong Xue can always maintain such an elegant and generous demeanor, which is inseparable from the nourishment of the loving and harmonious family environment in which she lives. She was born into a family with a strong artistic atmosphere and profound cultural heritage.
Her maternal grandfather went to study abroad with Mr. Lu Xun, and after returning to China, he devoted himself to the education cause in Shanghai and contributed to the country's education development.
Gong Xue's father studied Peking Opera with his master since he was a child, and later transitioned into the art industry because of his obsession with art, while her mother was a professional photographer.
The Gong family has a total of three children, and Gong Xue also has an older brother and a younger sister. Growing up in such an artistic family environment, the three children were deeply influenced by their parents from an early age, whether it was music, chess, calligraphy, painting or dance aesthetics.
Therefore, Gong Xue's childhood life can be described as colorful and happy. She always cherishes her love for art, and with the support and encouragement of her family, she unswervingly pursues her dreams.
Looking back on her arduous journey in the pursuit of her career, Ms. Gong Xue always can't suppress the pride and emotion in her heart. As a young woman who is passionate about art, her dream is to be able to stand on the stage, show her talent to the fullest, and let more people appreciate her unique charm.
Gong Xue has been shining alone on the stage of the Youth Activity Center since she was a child, and has conquered countless eye-catching eyes with her unique charm. Her unruly personality is even more fascinating, and people have sighed that this will be the star of tomorrow!
It's a pity that the years are hard to stay, with the storm of the "Cultural Revolution" swept in, the Gong family, which was originally a scholarly family, fell into trouble in an instant, and Gong Xue was forced to join the torrent of educated youth in the countryside.
In those difficult and difficult years, many young intellectuals like Gong Xue had to put down the books in their hands, pick up a hoe, and work hard in the soil of the countryside. Despite the poor living conditions, Gong Xue has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, worked silently, and went all out to complete the tasks assigned to her by the team.
Later, a local literary and artistic propaganda team was established, and Gong Xue was fortunate to be a member of it. In addition to their busy farm work, they will use their free time to present wonderful theatrical performances for everyone and share rare moments of joy.
With the development of the times, Gong Xue won the favor of the art troupe with her outstanding performance, and since then she has embarked on the road of acting. At first, she could only play some insignificant roles in stage plays and operas, with few lines.
However, no matter what kind of role she faces, Gong Xue is always fully engaged, digging deep into the character's personality traits and interpreting them vividly, so she can always leave a deep impression on the audience.
In 1974, under the vision of the well-known director Yin Yiqing, Gong Xue was able to participate in the filming of the movie "Rolling Wheels". Although she didn't have many scenes in the film, only less than 2 minutes of appearance, Gong Xue still carefully figured out every line, and strived to make this character vivid and realistic.
Although some of her scenes were cut in the end, this experience dealt a heavy blow to her, but she was not discouraged, but more firmly devoted herself to the tempering of her acting skills.
Finally, in that critical period in 1979, Gong Xue went through ups and downs, and her hard work finally got intuitive feedback! She has won a crucial lead role with her outstanding individual acting ability, fully demonstrating her talent and charisma.
Director Yin Yiqing was deeply impressed by his group performance clip in a film in 1975, so when the preparation for the film "Sacrifice to Red" began, he did not hesitate to recommend Gong Xue, an excellent actor, to director Zhang Xinshi, which made Gong Xue successfully serve as the heroine of the film and achieved a major breakthrough in his career.
Although the movie "Sacrifice to Red" did not cause much repercussions after its release, most of the audience was attracted by Gong Xue's outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, and their impression of her was unforgettable for a long time.
However, it was not until 1980 that Gong Xue's acting career really ushered in a dazzling and glorious moment.
In the movie "Good Things Are Grinding", Gong Xue successfully portrayed the beautiful and kind Liu Fangfang, and her performance seemed to make people feel that she was the character itself, which won warm praise from the audience overnight, and her career also entered a new stage.
Since then, Gong Xue has reached the peak of her career with "Under the Bridge" co-starring with Zhang Tielin. In this film, she plays a single mother who is unmarried and pregnant, but fails to wait for her first boyfriend to take responsibility.
She used her thin body to support her life and that of her children, and her tenacious, unyielding, weak but firm attitude to life deeply touched the heart of the male protagonist Gong Xue portrayed this role vividly with her superb acting skills, and finally won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award with this film, becoming the first "double actress" in the history of Chinese film.
However, just when Gong Xue's career was in full swing and becoming a smash hit, a sudden "hooligan case" threw her from the clouds and plunged her into an unprecedented crisis.
In 1986, a "hooligan case" occurred in Shanghai that shocked the whole country. The mastermind of the case consisted of three well-established figures, who gathered a large number of accomplices to form a criminal gang, and the number of female victims was said to be as high as more than 50.
They are cruel, deliberately threatening and seducing innocent young girls, using their psychological defenses to put them in irreparable predicament.
Some stubborn women tried their best to resist, but they still could not escape the unscrupulous "hooliganism" of this group of people, and endured endless pain and torture.
This "hat", which was not owned by Gong Xue, was suddenly imposed on her head, and the passionate voice of public opinion surged like thunder, causing Gong Xue to suffer an unprecedented reputation blow in an instant.
However, although Gong Xue resolutely stepped forward to clarify the facts, and the lawyer she entrusted also spoke out to defend her, the rumors spread endlessly in society like a snowball, and it was almost impossible to contain them.
Under this harsh environment, Gong Xue's acting career and personal life have fallen into an unprecedented trough. As a former first-line superstar, she has long been under huge pressure from public opinion, and now she has suffered a heavy blow, her mental state is deteriorating day by day, and she even fell into depression for a time.
In the end, Gong Xue, who was physically and mentally exhausted, could no longer bear this heartbreaking place, so she had to choose to leave her hometown and go to the United States on the other side of the ocean to seek new living space and development opportunities.
In fact, there is also a rumor that Gong Xue suffered such a bad luck because her popularity touched the vested interests of some people, which caused them to maliciously slander and suppress.
However, this is only a speculation, and the truth can no longer be verified, but can only be buried deep in the dust of history.
Just when Gong Xue fell into the lowest point of her life and was forced to leave the despair of the motherland, fate opened the door of hope for her rebirth in a peculiar way.
It turned out that as early as 1984, when Gong Xue went to the United States as a national art representative to tour with the troupe, she formed an indissoluble bond with a famous young scholar.
This young talent is Zhang Xun, a talented and knowledgeable young man. Zhang Xun was born in the Department of Chemistry of Peking University, and after graduating with a bachelor's degree, he went overseas to study for a doctorate.
At that time, he was studying at a well-known university in the United States.
Zhang Xun has been passionate about art since he was a child, and he is keen to enjoy all kinds of theatrical performances. When he witnessed Gong Xue's superb acting skills in the theater, he was immediately attracted by her graceful and peaceful charm and otherworldly temperament.
After the performance, Zhang Xun plucked up the courage to take the initiative and sincerely asked Gong Xue to give him a precious autograph.
At that time, Zhang Xun impressed the audience with his humorous conversation style and humble and polite manners, and his sunny and open personality made Gong Xue unconsciously fall deeply.
As a fanatic of photography, Zhang Xun also captured countless charming moments for Gong Xue, and since then, the sweet fate between the two has become stronger and stronger.
Although Gong Xue had already scheduled a trip back to her hometown, they still maintained close contact through letters in the years to come. However, due to Gong Xue's excessive work pressure, this connection gradually became estranged, and Zhang Xun gradually forgot this beautiful memory.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, in 1986, Gong Xue was unfortunately involved in a "hooligan case", and her career and life were caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, and finally she had no choice but to leave her motherland and go to the United States.
Just when she felt hopeless, fate seemed to open a door of hope for her, allowing her to reunite with Zhang Xun again.
This time, Zhang Xun unswervingly trusted Gong Xue's innocence, and he tolerated Gong Xue with his sincerity and understanding, giving her endless spiritual support and strength encouragement. In the long process of companionship and enlightenment, Zhang Xun finally touched Gong Xue's heart, and the two came together naturally, from friends to lovers, and finally entered the palace of marriage.
In 1988, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun ushered in the crystallization of their love - a lively and lovely daughter. Since then, their warm family of three has lived a happy and contented life. Whenever Gong Xue looks back on the difficult years in the past, she is always full of gratitude to Zhang Xun, because it was he who gave her the courage and strength to stand up again.
Although Gong Xue has been away from the movie screen for many years, art has always been an inseparable part of her life, and her love for art has never diminished in the slightest. At the beginning of this year, Gong Xue shared a family photo on social media, in which she smiled brightly, stared at the camera tenderly, her daughter snuggled up to her, and her husband Zhang Xun sat aside.
A happy family, coupled with Gong Xue's optimistic attitude, seems to make her always maintain her youthful and energetic demeanor.
In fact, although Gong Xue has been away from the entertainment industry for many years, her artistic life is still in full swing! She often invites a few confidants to hold a small art salon in her villa, where everyone can discuss art theories and share each other's creative experiences and insights.
Gong Xue's home is filled with a strong artistic atmosphere at all times, and all kinds of art treasures are dazzling, all of which reflect her deep love for art.
Gong Xue's persistent pursuit of art has been deeply passed on to her beloved daughter, so that the whole family has always been filled with a happy and harmonious atmosphere, and they have sought endless happiness and satisfaction in the world of art.
Since she was a child, her daughter has been bathed in this rich artistic atmosphere and has developed an innate love for various art forms such as painting, music, and dance.
Gong Xue looks forward to her daughter inheriting and carrying forward the charm of this art, and one day becoming an outstanding artist in the future.
Whenever she is free, Gong Xue will always quietly look back on the past years. Those glorious moments and bumpy life experiences have now turned into invaluable wealth in her heart.
Her life is closely linked to art, from the initial dream to the final return, art has always been the pillar of her faith that will never give up.
After half a lifetime of wind and rain, today's Gong Xue can never hide the emotion and pride in her heart. In the eyes of industry insiders, she is known as one of the most outstanding actresses in the history of Chinese cinema, and her achievements are remarkable.
In the minds of the audience, she is also a highly respected excellent artist and a beautiful landscape.
Looking back on the past, Gong Xue is undoubtedly most proud of the wonderful performance created in "Under the Bridge". This film not only shows her perfect acting skills, but also gives a vivid footnote to the innocence, kindness and enthusiasm in her heart.
Playing a poor but resilient single mother is no easy task, but Gong Xue has successfully shaped the rich inner world of this character with her deep understanding and interpretation of the soul.
She is often full of emotion, if she hadn't experienced such setbacks and obstacles, maybe she would never have been able to create such a classic screen image.
Whenever Gong Xue recalls the stormy year of 1986, she always has mixed feelings in her heart. She was involved in the social turmoil caused by the "hooligan case", and endured the fierce criticism of public opinion, which once made her physically and mentally exhausted and almost on the verge of collapse.
However, it was precisely this catastrophic event that made Gong Xue meet and meet an outstanding partner after entering the mature stage of life - Zhang Xun. This fortuitous meeting completely reversed the course of her life.
Just imagine, if Gong Xue at that time had not chosen to retreat, she would not have been able to usher in such a happy life today.
Today, Gong Xue often affectionately tells her daughter about her various experiences in her youth, telling her that there will always be many ups and downs and injustices in her life, but she must learn to resolve the pain with an optimistic attitude and dissolve hatred with a benevolent heart.
She hopes that her daughter can take herself as a role model, not only inheriting her unique demure and gentle temperament as an Oriental woman, but also deeply rooted in her firm will to never give up.
Sometimes, Gong Xue would sincerely tell Zhang Xun that if he hadn't appeared at the low ebb of her life, she might have lost her way in the abyss of despair and completely lost herself.
It was Zhang Xun's courage and support that enabled her to rediscover the dawn of life and rekindle her enthusiasm and confidence in the future.
